Instant Pot Recipes

Instant Pots are all the rage right now, and for good reason! You can cook up just about anything in a fraction of the time you can cook something on the stove or in the oven. If you are new to Instant Pot cooking there is a little bit of a learning curve, but not to worry, all of these recipes are tried-and-true reader favorites. We walk you through each recipe so you will have success right off the bat. For all of these recipes I used a 6 Qt 7-in-1 Instant Pot but you can use any 6 or 8 Quart Instant Pot or Pressure cooker. The times and pressure will remain the same.

Instant Pot Accessories

Before we get started, for some of these recipes you may need a trivet. Most Instant Pots have one included but if for some reason you don’t have one, it may be a good idea to grab one. If you intend to use your Instant Pot as a slow cooker, may we suggest getting a slow cooker lid as well. It makes slow cooking in the Instant Pot a breeze! We love cooking with our Instant Pots so we love having ALL the fun accessories! The more you use your Instant Pot, the more you are going to love it.
